AI overview
Utilitarianism is an ethical philosophy that says the right action is the one that creates the most happiness and well-being for the most people affected by it. It matters because it provides a practical framework for making moral decisions by focusing on outcomes—aiming to maximize overall good rather than following rigid rules or personal interests.
